The Digitization of Ukiyo-e at the Chiossone Museum and Some Remarkable Prints in Light of a
New Stage in Ukiyo-e Studies
Abstract
The Chiossone Museum and the Art Research Centre are running a digital archiving project for
the Chiossone collection of Japanese art. We started from the paper materials in the collection,
and as far as ukiyo-e are concerned, we have finished digitising 80 percent of the collection by
last March and hope to complete the work in September 2010. While conducting the digitisation,
we are also preparing the metadata for the image database in Japanese. Although experiencing
some difficulties in translating Japanese to Italian, we hope to find the best ways to collaborate
internationally and to prepare metadata in foreign languages other than Japanese and English in
the near future. This paper will discuss the ukiyo-e collection from a historical perspective as
well as introduce remarkable materials which no major catalogues have featured yet. Not
completely new findings, these ukiyo-e prints, however, shall be important in the next stage of
research after the image database grows.

The Research Project about Japanese Narrative and Illuminated Manuscripts in the Public
Collections of France: One Year Result, on the Shuhanron emaki (BnF)
Abstract
The Bibliothèque nationale de France, the Japanese Studies Center (Inalco) and the Research
Center on East Asian Civilization jointly organized in 2010-2011 a workshop about the Illustrated
Scroll of the Sake and the Rice Debate (Shuhanron emaki). This workshop was held within the
framework of a research program entitled “Japanese manuscripts and narrative paintings of the
Edo Period owned by the Manuscripts Department or public collections in France”. This program
is part of a three-year research program at the BnF 2010-2012.
We aim to present the results of this first year of collective research, centred on the Shuhanron
emaki and the question of the representation of the food in the manuscript.
The original manuscript of the Shuhanron emaki dates back to the 16th C., and the
Manuscripts Department own a beautiful copy (18th-19th C.). This scroll illustrates, in a
sequence of four paintings representing banquets and kitchen scenes, a debate about different
types of food, behind which a religious dispute is hidden. The specialists of food imagery
proposed to examine this year the multiple meanings of those representations, including
anthropological, literary, pictorial and symbolic.

Needs and Prospects in Europe for e-Resources on Asia
Abstract
Electronic resources are now part of a librarian's daily activities and are increasingly expected if
not demanded by library users. How does a newly appointed librarian handle databases and
other e-resources? How do we keep up-to-date with these products? How do we foresee their
influence and impact in the years to come? The presentation will introduce the results of a
survey sent out in June to the European library and scholarly communities on this specific topic
and will be followed by a discussion on the feasibility of, need for and possible benefits of
additional European cooperation.

Title
Production and Circulation of Vernacular Italian Texts Related to the Jesuit Mission in Japan in
the XVI Century: the Case of Venice
Abstract
The reports and histories compiled by the members of the Society of Jesus during the latter half
of the XVI Century, are a rich, if not always organic, source of information about the Japanese
archipelago in the Sengoku and Azuchi-Momoyama periods. Such reports played a key role in
defining “Japan”, for the first time, as a geographical and political reality, in the imaginary of at
least a part of the European public.
Reports, regularly sent by missionaries stationed in Japan to their superiors in Europe, were in
fact not only circulated in manuscript form to the majority of the Jesuit houses, but were also, in
a selected number of cases, published and commercially distributed throughout Europe.
Although part of these reports were printed in the original language of the manuscripts (mostly
Spanish or Portuguese), reports translated and issued in the Italian vernacular were, apparently,
the most widespread, since most translations later published throughout Europe were based on
them.
My paper will focus on such Italian vernacular reports. I will take Venice, the major printing
center in Italy in the XVI century, as a case study, and try and analyse both the contents of the
published reports and the context in which they were issued. I will illustrate what kind of
materials were published and why – in relation to the policies of the Catholic Revival. I will also
make some hypothesis on the kind of readers who would approach these texts and what image
of Japan they could derive from them.

The Digitization of the Berlin State Library‟s Collection of Japanese Rare Books
ベルリン国立図書館所蔵日本書貴重本コレクションの電子化プロジェクト
Abstract
The Berlin State Library‟s collection of Japanese Rare Books comprises about 500 titles. It is a
small collection, but holds specimens that cover the different phases of the long history of
Japanese book production. The earliest period is represented by a small number of Nara-ban,
Kōya-ban and Kokatsuji-ban. Thanks to a donation in 1980 the Berlin State Library also holds a
copy of a Hyakumantō darani, which is regarded as one of the oldest prints in the world. The
majority of the collection consists of manuscripts and prints from the Edo period. Among the
highlights are several beautifully hand-painted scrolls such as the Gangōji engi, the Hōrai
monogatari or the story of Ochikubo. But also illustrated books printed from wood-blocks such
as the Miyako meisho zue or the Heike monogatari are valuable items of the collection.
Especially prominent in the collection, are books on medicine and on the game of go, as both
derive from the acquisition of two private collections. Thanks to funding of the German Research
Foundation (Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft) a digitization project is now under way to
present the entire rare book collection of the East Asia Department of the Berlin State Library on
the internet. An overview of the current state of the project including its problems and its delights
will be given.

The Chiossone Museum's Historical Inventory of the Ukiyo-e Collection Dated 1898
Abstract
The historical inventory of the Chiossone Collections was compiled after the death of Edoardo
Chiossone (1833-1898) by his friend and testament curator, Luigi Casati (1850-1909), who at
that time served as an interpreter in the Italian Diplomatic Mission.
Formed by two handwritten volumes, the Chiossone Collections‟ inventory is commonly
referred to as Inventario Casati, and consists of 19 lists, each of which synthetically describes
19 classes or types of different art objects.
The collection of Ukiyo-e woodblock prints spans a period of two centuries, from the late 17th
to the late 19th century. Its inventorial description is subdivided into four columns: the first one
contains the progressive accession numbers, the second features the name of the artist, the
third has a concise description of the iconography or subject, the fourth tells the value in
Japanese Yen for each item.
Having been compiled in Meiji Japan in 1898, the Inventario Casati offers a wealth of
information, which deserves punctual interpretation, not only in regard to the pecuniary value of
every single item and of the whole collection, but also as far as attribution and interpretation of
iconography are concerned. Significantly, while several wrong attributions surely reflect the
knowledge on Ukiyo-e prevalent during the late Meiji period, misinterpretations of subject and of
other information indicate uneven ability on the part of the compiler.
Yet, it is highly significant that the Inventario Casati had been used from the very beginning
until the 1970s by several museum curators as a primary source of information, and employed in
the preparation of exhibition plans, catalogues and didactic apparatus for special exhibitions.

Getting JACAR Closer to European Japan Specialists
Abstract
The Japan Center for Asian Historical Records (JACAR) has been, over the course of nine
years, steadfastly expanding its free online database of presently more than twenty million
scanned historical documents. In addition, the JACAR website offers special exhibitions on
topics such as Japanese-US negotiations prior to the Pacific War‟s outbreak, the Iwakura
mission to Europe and the US, the Russo-Japanese war, as well as Chiune Sugihara‟s
endeavors in war-time Lithuania. These special exhibitions and other explorations of major
historical topics are intended to make JACAR documents more accessible to non-specialists.
JACAR‟s achievements are indebted to the leadership of founding director-general Professor
Yoneo Ishii, who regretfully passed away last March. Professor Yoneo Ishii‟s successor,
Kenichiro Hirano, is a historian specializing in modern East Asian international relations.
Kenichiro Hirano strongly shares his predecessor‟s belief that perceptions of history ought to be
based upon fact; and, since determining historical fact is not easy, archived documents are
indispensable to the rigorous search of scholars. It is hoped that European specialists of modern
Japanese history will find JACAR to be a useful archival resource in locating Japanese
documents relevant to their research undertakings. For such purposes, Kenichiro Hirano would
be delighted to take advantage of EAJRS‟ expertise and intends to open up the dialogue on
further enhancing JACAR‟s reference services.

Abstract
Kikuzo II Visual (http://database.asahi.com/library2e/), an online commercial database of the
Asahi Shinbun, was significantly refurbished in April 2010. By adding image data of the pages
printed during the Meiji, the Taisho and the early Showa periods, it became one of the largest
newspaper databases of Japan, and presently contains more than 12 million items of articles
and advertisements of the paper since its first issue in 1879. Not only the Tokyo edition but also
the Osaka edition of the paper is covered. Regarding the post-1985 articles, full-text searching is
available. It also contains articles of two leading weekly magazines: Aera and Shukan Asahi.
Furthermore, the Historical Photo Archive, a database of approximately 10 thousand
photographic records mostly taken in Asia during the World War II period, is available as well.
The “History keyword” system is a distinctive feature of Kikuzo II Visual, which is designed to
efficiently search for the articles of the Meiji, the Taisho and the Showa periods. History
keywords consist of selected major events of those days and names of historical figures as
opposed to regular keywords given in the articles. By searching the database by history
keywords, all relevant articles, even those which do not contain the expected keywords, can be
searched comprehensively. In addition, a variety of history keyword lists (e.g. a chronological
table and one organized by field of activity) further helps one‟s search. A click on a keyword in
the lists is enough to retrieve all relevant information at once.

Photography and the Book: Henry Norman‟s Glass Negatives from the Royal Commonwealth
Society Collections at Cambridge University Library
Abstract
Edoardo Chiossone contributed toward the development of printing in modern Japan and has
also left drawings and etchings of famous Japanese people in Meiji period. Photography and
printing shared similar processes or were related to each other during their infancy. For
example, photography managed to produce multiple copies like printing after the introduction of
wet plates (glass negatives) in the 1850s. Collotype printing used photography directly to
produce images in publications from the 1870s onwards, although the number of copies was
limited (up to several hundred?). Chiossone lived in Japan from 1875 to 1898, but in
Chiossone‟s case, photography was not used directly for the printing of images, but through
engravings.
Probably, photographs were gradually being used directly for the printing of journals,
newspapers and books (a relatively large number of publications) from the 1890s onwards
through photomechanical processes, such as half-tone printing.
Henry Norman (1858-1939), a journalist and politician, travelled around the world in the
period 1887-1891 for almost four years. He arrived in Japan in August 1888 and he finally left
Japan in April 1890, although he also visited other Asian countries at the same time. He took his
own photographs using dry plates. He published Real Japan and People and Politics of the Far
East in 1892 and 1895 respectively, and the photographs he took in Japan and the Far East
were used for his books through photomechanical processes.
Henry Norman‟s widow (Fay Norman) donated his items such as pamphlets and 30 dry plate
glass negatives on Japan and the Far East to the Royal Commonwealth Society (the Royal
Empire Society) before World War II. In 1993, the library of the Royal Commonwealth Society
was transferred to Cambridge University Library. Among the 30 glass negatives, 12 are
photographs of Japan and Japanese.
I would like to explore the early relation between photography and books showing the Henry
Norman glass negatives from the Royal Commonwealth Society Collections at Cambridge
University Library.

Archival Research on Agricultural Chemistry at the End of the 19th century in England and
Japan: Based on Findings at the Royal Agricultural College
Abstract
The first foreign teachers at the National Agricultural College in Komaba, which eventually
became the Department of Agriculture of Tokyo University, were five British teachers. Among
them, Edward Kinch, who taught chemistry, contributed to the development of agricultural
chemistry in Japan. After five years teaching in Japan, he returned home as he was appointed a
professor of chemistry at the Royal Agricultural College (R.A.C.). While Kinch was a professor at
the R.A.C. from May 1881 until 1915, a total of 32 Japanese people, including his former
students, visited him. Yasutaka Matsudaira, who was from the nobility, entered R.A.C. in May
1889. After he returned to Japan, he founded “The Matsudaira Experimental Station” in Fukui
Prefecture in May 1893. He wrote a paper entitled “The Culture of Kaki,” which he exhibited at
the British-Japan Exposition in London in 1910. In this presentation I would like to introduce the
methods of my investigation and the results of my archival research pertaining to Kinch,
Yasutaka Matsudaira, and agricultural chemistry in England, which I have conducted mainly at
R.A.C. starting in the spring of 2008.

A Study on the Books and Documents in the Nishogakusha University Collection
Abstract
The foundation of Nishogakusha University goes back to the school of Chinese studies
established in 1877 by the sinologist Mishima Chushu (1830-1919). The school was turned into
a private college in 1928 with the purpose of training secondary school teachers majoring in
Chinese and Japanese literature. It finally became a university in 1949. From 2004 to 2009,
Nishogakusha University received financial funds from the Ministry of Education to promote the
"Research on Kanbun Studies" project. Besides the already known collection of the university
library, which includes private collections of persons related to the university, new acquisitions
have been made recently and the creation of a library catalogue is under way. Moreover, a
monthly research group is currently sorting out the Library collection. My research focuses on
the achievements of Japanese and Chinese studies and the role they played in Japan during the
modern period.

Images of the Japanese in Spanish Catholic Mission Journals (1914-1923): “Interpersonally
Oriented Religiosity”
スペインでのカトリック宣教雑誌 (1914 年-1923 年) に見られる日本人像―
対人関係重視の宗教性
Abstract
In this paper, I will assess the Spanish Catholic Mission Journals from the period 1914-1923 as
a resource I consulted in an effort to construct a clear image of the Japanese and especially of
the way they face the spiritual question, as the missionaries saw it.
A large portion of these resources was collected in the following libraries: the Library of the
Seminary in Vitoria (Álava), the Library of the Mercedarian Missionaries of Bérriz (Vizcaya), and
the Library of the Dominicans, The Order of Preachers, in the Monasterio de Santa Catalina de
Siena (Madrid).
A preliminary study, in which we sorted a total of 212 articles into 5 styles, showed that the
writers, missionaries, had a penchant for long articles running to of 3 ~ 5 pages, in which they
liked to describe mostly the conditions at their mission post or incidents encountered in the
course of mission activities. These categories of articles I have labeled “Descriptions” (40, 5% of
the total = 86 articles)” and “Epistles” (22, 1%= 47 articles).” Their central topic is usually the
religiosity of the Japanese.
The following characteristic elements are taken into account when interpreting the Japanese
religiosity as teh missionaries depict is, which I characterize as “interpersonally oriented”: 1) the
historical context of the development of Spanish mission activities and mission journals during
the decade under review; 2) the influence these mission journals as cultural vehicles of images
of Japan, have had upon the recipient Spanish society; 3) these journals contained writings
compiled by persons who were experts of Japan and its people, who wrote directly about their
experiences with an eye to support and strengthen the Church; 4) they constitute an effort that is
sustained by the spiritual and financial collaboration of the faithful, who are encouraged to do so
by reading these journals.

documenting this rich performance tradition. The collection represents four decades of close
contact and respectful collaboration between Ms. Adachi and the Japanese National Bunraku
Troupe, the leading performance group of Bunraku in the world, and documents the significant
revival of Bunraku's popularity in the second half of the twentieth century. This paper discusses

“Fides no Qvio” (1611) from the Jesuit Mission Press and its Preservation in E.G. Stillman‟s
Collection in Harvard University
Abstract
The only extant copy in the world of Symbolo da Fee or Fides no Qvio (1611), published by the
Jesuit Mission Press which was active in Nagasaki from 1590 to 1614, was re-discovered at
Harvard University in 2009. Except for its cover and first page, which appeared once in an
antiquarian catalogue of the Gottschalk bookseller in Berlin in 1907, it had disappeared without
revealing its contents in spite of painstaking efforts by many academics, including Johannes
Laures.
The book is now held by Houghton Library of the University under register no. Typ.
684.11.435. It was found while examining the card catalog of the private collection of Ernest
Goodrich Stillman (1881-1949), a member of the Harvard class of 1908. In the last part of his life
he was a benefactor and honorable curator of Japanese collections in Harvard University. The
catalog consists of more than 5.500 entries in ten boxes classified by author and topic. The
information about Symbolo da Fee is to be found under the entry “Jesuit Relations”.
This presentation firstly examines the history of the book‟s movements before its deposit in
Houghton Library. Secondly it introduces the biography of Dr. Stillman and his close relationship
with Japan at the beginning of the 20th century. Finally, it gives a brief overview of his collections
scattered in various libraries, archives, and museums in the university, although the majority of
them is still unknown because of the anonymity of his donation.

Title
Towards Sharing Information about Japanese Art Works in Italy
Abstract
This presentation surveys the Japanese artworks in the possession of cultural institutions in
Italy. My on-going survey aims at gathering basic information on Japanese artworks, including
the institution where the artworks are now located. Since the sixteenth century, Italy has
accumulated these artworks, contributed by a variety of people, including traders, missionaries,
tourists, diplomats, and sericultural merchants.
Researchers who reside outside Italy have long experienced difficulties in acquiring even the
most basic information about the artworks which are rich in historical and cultural value. The
lack of information is caused mainly by the difficulty in cataloguing unfamiliar, non-western
artworks.
Based on the survey which I have been working on for the last few years, I would like to
suggest a way how researchers, regardless of language and physical location, can share the
information. For this purpose, I would like to propose a portal site where everyone will be able to
find all the necessary information regarding the artworks by simply accessing the Internet.
This portal site is planned to be interactive, thus allowing researchers to share and exchange
information regarding Japanese art collections in Italy. University students of Japanese art and
culture in Italy could cooperate in the development of the site, thereby having the opportunity to
actually study and describe Japanese artworks.

Digital Image Index to Woodblock Prints
Abstract
In July 2009 the Resource Center for the History of Entrepreneurship launched the Jitsugyôshi
Nishiki-e Ebiki website (a searchable image index of woodblock prints showing the
modernization and industrialization of society in the Meiji era, http://ebiki.jp.)
Woodblock prints were a popular visual media in Japan before the advent of photography.
The Center focuses on woodblock prints from the Meiji era which illustrate the transition from old
to modern industry. We chose woodblock prints that depict a wooden frame house construction
and, numbering and indexing various elements in the prints, we created an exciting new type of
digital resource.
In my presentation I will introduce Shibusawa Keizô‟s idea of a “Searchable image index
(Ebiki)” based on his “Thinking About the Creation of an Ebiki.” Then I will discuss the contents
of the Jitsugyôshi Nishiki-e Ebiki by showcasing the “Ebiki Database” and “Ebiki Gallery.”

Round-table discussion: Where in the World are Japanese STM Documents? Searching
Japanese STM Documents from WWII and Beyond.
Abstract
Round Table:
The Asian STM (Science, Technology and Medicine) Working Group was established in March
2009 in order to locate key Asian STM research materials in different parts of the world and link
them to researchers. Since in 2000 former US president Clinton released a large number of
classified documents from the WWII, it became internationally known that many of the historical
documents on Asian STM are in fact archived outside of the originating country. Especially as
Japan was one of the defeated countries in WWII, the vast majority of scientific and
technological research documents were brought to the US and England (so-called “captured
materials”) or kept in Europe (Germany and Italy as former allies). One of the goals for Asian
STM is to locate such documents in different parts of the world. Co-chairs of the WG run
workshops or round tables at international meetings in order to obtain and exchange such
information and promote awareness of the importance of such materials. This round table is one
of such efforts focusing on Japanese STM materials especially from WWII. Two speakers in the
round table present documents in the US and South-East Asia, and share their information with
the audience, and then open up the floor so that anyone who is familiar with such materials in
their country or area of science can share their information with the rest of the conference
participants.
The organizer‟s wish is that this round-table series may be the start of similar efforts in Europe.

MAEKAWA Kaori: War Memory and Records Program: Building an Archival Network on
Wartime Japanese Colonies and Occupied Areas and the Atomic Bomb.
Preserving the memory of the 20th century for the future is one of the most important archival
tasks of the world. Especially Japan plays an important role in these activities as the sole nation
that challenged colonial and military supremacy over East and Southeast Asia and suffered
military attacks of nuclear weapons.
Japan is able to contribute to the establishment of world peace through the “archives of modern
history,” which will enhance the research sources of the world. This research project aims to
build an “archives of modern history” which preserves “memory" and records on “two world
wars”, “colonial rule” and “nuclear military power” and to carry out a joint archival program with
multi-disciplinary scholars. The project is built on three divisional programs as follows.
(1) The “War Memory and Records” project team is to clarify the process of the survival of
records on Japanese occupied Southeast Asia.
(2) The “Memory and Records of Colonial rule” project team focuses on the archival research
of the records on Japanese colonial rule in East Asia such as China, Korea and Taiwan.
(3) The “Memory and Records in the Nuclear Era” project team is to build a network of
materials related to the Hiroshima and Nagasaki Atomic bombs, especially focusing on the
materials held in the United States.
This talk will focus on two programs: “War Memory and Records” and “Memory and Records in
the Nuclear Era”. We enhance the accessibility to the Japanese captured sources and related
materials in Japan, Southeast Asia and Europe, and also create digital form images of Atomic
Bomb survivors‟ medical records (ABCC Records) to open accessibility. The project also intends
to propose a practical model of “the archives of modern history” in Japan.

STEEN Tomoko Y.: Discovering STM Treasures in the “Captured Document” Sets at the Library
of Congress.
Right after the Japanese surrender to the Allied Forces on August 15th, 1945, the US
government assigned several US intelligence officers to visit specific parts of Japan to recover
“important” documents. Long before the Japanese surrender, the US military had a capacity to
decode much of Japanese war communications and knew about various scientific and medical
research projects conducted as part of Japan‟s war effort. These documents were brought to
the US during the occupation period, first to the Library of Congress. Four bilingual experts were
appointed by the government to organize these documents - bounded documents were to be
kept at the Library of Congress, and loose documents to go to the National Archives. A large
number of documents were simply put in large canvas sacks, and there are also many more
sensitive documents first marked as “top secret” that were eventually brought to the Library of
Congress through a different route. The presentation will introduce the processes and history of
two sets of documents brought to the US during the occupation period.

“Second only to Chiossone‟s”: The Kitaev Collection of Japanese Art
Abstract
“My collection is second only to Chiossone‟s collection,” wrote in 1916 Sergey Kitaev (18641927), a Russian naval officer, who built up his collection in the late 19th c. during his stay in
Japan. Kitaev called Chiossone his friend who helped him to collect. Therefore it seems quite
befitting to talk about the Kitaev collection in Genoa. The proposed paper is based on my
research for the two-volume catalogue of prints from this collection (or rather a small part left of
it). After the Bolshevik revolution of 1917, the Kitaev Collection was nationalized and never
seriously studied until very recently. Possibly the bigger part of it was lost. This paper presents
the story of its bygone glory and subsequent dispersal. The presentation will be illustrated with
highlights (some of them never published before) from the collection and by images of the early
20th c. archival documents.

Workshop: NACSIS-CAT Clinic Workshop
Abstract
NACSIS-CAT is a system for constructing union catalogue databases designed to provide at-aglance information on scholarly collections held at university libraries across Japan. Many
European libraries with Japanese holdings also participate in our system. We shall give a
workshop to show how to make bibliographic data on NACSIS -CAT. As the name suggests, this
is a clinic / Q & A workshop, rather than a general / basic training session, but cataloguers at
any level are welcome to attend. We ask participants for their cooperation to prepare specific
examples of the type of problems which they encounter in their libraries and to send, in advance,
photocopies/digital images of actual items they are having trouble cataloguing. We shall work
through them one by one and show how to create their records. Please send them directly to the
address below by the end of July at the latest.

The National Diet Library (NDL) has digitized its collections in order to provide the “digital library
service” and to preserve its materials for a long time. The Copyright Law of Japan was amended
in June 2009 to enable the NDL to digitize materials in order to avoid the originals being lost,
damaged or defaced. The amendment came into force in January 2010. Coinciding with this
legal change, a supplementary budget for FY2009, which was approved in May 2009, was
allocated to cover the digitization costs of about 12.7 billion yen (approximately 140 million US
dollars). With this budget, from FY2009 to 2010, the NDL is conducting a large-scale digitization
of around 900,000 items, including books, magazines, children‟s books, rare and old materials,
dissertations and official gazettes published in Japan.
For web archiving, the NDL has been carrying on the Web Archiving Project (WARP) since
2002 on permission-base. In July 2009, the National Diet Library Law was amended to enable
the NDL to collect Internet resources offered by public sector institutions including national
government agencies and local governments without permission. It came into effect in April
2010, after which date the NDL started to collect official institutions‟ websites in Japan.

キリスト教用語の翻訳問題
Problems of Translating Christian Terminology into Japanese
Abstract
The goal of my presentation is to deal with Christian terminology from the viewpoint of a
translator, especially concerning the Bible and its translation into Japanese, because the
difficulty in translating Christian terminology and church-related terms from a European into a
non-European language becomes particularly apparent here.
To give a specific example, how should the name of God be translated? From a historical
perspective, for the first missionaries in Japan in the middle of the 16th century, the questions of
which Japanese word to use for "God" and how much the Christian message could draw on the
native beliefs were essential. The same questions were of great interest for the first Japanese
translation of the Bible in the 19th century. To some extent, the process of translating the Bible
into Japanese was already being influenced by Chinese translations. The word "kami" was used
for "God" even though the meaning is quite different. But the Jesuit missionaries did not
translate the word "God" at all and used the Romanization "Deus" to avoid misunderstanding.
I will first examine church related documents from this time. These were mainly translated by
Jesuit missionaries. These will include catechisms (Dochirina Kirisitan, 1591; 1600) and legends
of saints (Santos no Gosagyo, 1591). I then plan to examine modern Japanese Bible
translations. These translations from the 19th century will be the second object of research. The
main contributors here were S.R. Brown and J.C. Hepburn.
